Wilde Lake Named ‘Top School’ by International Exchange Program

Wilde Lake High School is one of two schools in the state of Maryland to be named a “top school” by AFS-USA, which offers international exchange student programs.

On its website, the organization said Wilde Lake has helped its Baltimore team become one of the strongest in the region in terms of hosting international students and sending students abroad.

AFS wrote:

“Wilde Lake High School has consistently worked with the AFS Team in Baltimore to both host AFS students and send local students abroad with AFS programs. With their help, the Baltimore Area Team has become one of the strongest AFS teams in the East Coast region. They have been very helpful in making Baltimore Area Team one of the strongest hosting area teams on the East Coast.”

Five of Howard County’s 27 AFS exchange students are at Wilde Lake for the current school year, according to a district news release.

“The students are active in sports, drama, and a variety of clubs, in addition to numerous outside activities along with their host families,” district officials wrote.
